In its earliest phases Great Bri­ tain alone has had to bear the brunt of war, hut as time goes on the' Dominions, India, the Colonies and Dependencies should play an ever-increasing part as the Colossus of the Efnpire is gradually set in notion. Nowhere is the manifold character of the re­ sources of the Empire more apparent than in Egypt and Palestine, where the British armies are to a large extent supplied from the Empire east of Suez, Britain is not the sole arsenal of the Empire, It is insufficiently realized that India is among the greatest manufacturing countries of the world, and at this moment her industrial power is being rapidly turned over to war production. She is producing rifles, small arms ammunition, machine guns, and artillery, trucks and railway material. She can pro­ duce all the clothing that a great army requires. But when to her effort is added .that of the other entries of'the British Empire in the East—Burma, the Malay States, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zeal­ and, South Africa, Southern Rhodesia, and the East African Colonies, aided by Palestine, Iraq, t_. 2 Egypt—then there is little that is needed for the provision and equipment of the-British Forces in the Mediterranean that cannot be supplied from xbases in the East. At the recent conference of members of this eastern group of the British Empire, representing 500,000,000 people, measures were taken for co­ operation between eleven countries for the supply of the British armies in the East. It is an imposing spectacle, this, of the rallying to the mother country of peoples so diverse as those of India, Malaya, Aus­ tralia* Africa. These are coming together to help one another, in the common task of helping Britain. Their resurces in metals apd raw materials of all sorts are prodigious. If Germany has a certain advantage for a Euro­ pean war in operating on internal lines of communi­ cation, branching' west, south, and east from her war ^tenters, Britain, operating on the circumference, has the advantage qf many war bases. She can supply an'operation, if necessary, in France; she can count on the Empire to supply an army operating from Egypt-The Empire has not one center but many. In a far-flung war its geographical distribution is a source of strength. The December meeting off the Victoria Missionary Auxiliary of St Paul’s Church, was held in the lec­ ture room when the following officers were elected: Hon. Presidents, Mrs. E. R.

LIVESTOCK FROM THE WAR ZONE Pedigree Pigs Crosa Atlantic To Canada ^Britain continues in the midst of war to send pedigree livestock across the seas to remote corners of the world. Sheep from Romney marsh have recently been landed on the lonely island of Ascension. Bred for gener­ ations on these exposed marshes of the English Channel, they thrive where other sheep would perish. One ram of this breed was sold to Argentina last September for 210 guineas. Red Poll cattle have been safely delivered as far from East Anglia as Nepal. They are the only hornless breed in England, sprung from a century of skilful mating of the Norfolk strain, with its red colour and beef production and the Suffolk with its excellent milking qualities. A consignment of pigs has also just crossed the Atlantic and Pan­ ada to Vancouver. They are Large Whites, the breed which has a larger proportion of lean to fat than any other. The sows are excellent moth­ ers and very prolific, while their piglets are hardy and rapid growers, equally ready for slaughter at an early age where small joints of pork are required, or to be taken on to a very large size and weight, FIFTY TONS OF XMAS PUDDING H u Arrived From England in Can­ ada, U. S. A. and the Dominion* Canada has received a goodly share of the 50 tons of Christmas puddings which have now been safely delivered to the Dominions and U. S.A. in ample time for this1 year’s festivities. They have been going out since -midsummer for they will keep for a year if necessary and improve in the keeping.

A. de V Robertson, V.D., the authority on aeronautics, “The first," he trays, “was the de­ feat of the German air attack on Great Britain. The credit for the lat- ter goes to the Royal Air Force; that for the former to the Fleet Air Arm. Only the Fleet Air Arm could have struck the Italian warships so hard, because only that body could haVe brought torpedoes within strik­ ing range of the enemy fleet, and only torpedoes could have done such overwhelming damage. “The type of aircraft used in the attack was the Fairey Swordfish, which fa known in the Navy as a T. S. R. Machine. The initials stand for torpedo-^potter-reconnaissance. As hangar space on an aircraft carrier is limited, the Fleet Arm cannot in­ dulge in , many specialist types of aeroplane. The Swordfish and the Albacore are both of the T.S.R. Class; the Skua and the Roc (both products of the Blackburn firm), have to combine the duties of fighter and dive-bomber. In addition,, the wings of ship-borne aircraft (with the exception of the Sea Glad- c to Save space in the hangars and on the lifts, and there are other requirements which detract from their perform­ ance and make them, class for class, inferior to shore-based machine. For this reason the Italians have never built carriers, reckoning that long-range bombers with bases on Sardinia, Pantellaria, and the Do­ decanese, could cover thq whole Mediterranean. “However," says Major Robertson, “the Fleet Air Arm has recently ac­ quired a specialist fighter, the Fairey Fulmar, which is faster and alto­ gether better than any other .ship- oornc fighter. Already the Fulmar ha.» been in action, and has shot down a numbef of Italian recon­ naissance mchines which were trying to shadow the British fleet. If the' Italians can be kept in ignorance of the movements of our warships, their task of getting supply ships across to Libya and the Dodecanese will be­ come more hazardous even than it was before.” Little Theatre Hold Christmas Party - „. Make This Christmas Free From Fire Bombs will bring death and destruction to many British homes this Chrfatmastide. In many Canadian homes this Christmas, death and destruction may be brought not by bomba but by the celebration of Christmas itself, the most festive season in the demo­ cratic world. At Christmas time numerous Are hazards ' are introduced into homes, stores and public places ' that do not ordinarily exurt. Every year in Canada women and little children lose their lives or ire scarred for life from fires starting in. Christmas dec­ orations, trees, lighting, eta. This is the warning issued by the Ontario Fire Marshal's Office. Those persons decorating halls, churches and public places should use particular care in their choice of decorations. Only materials made of metal, glass and asbestos should be used. Packing material and rubbiih accumulates much more rapidly at thi^. time and should therefore be disposed of at more frequent intervals. In any case, merchants should i guard against obstructing any exit facilities during thia season when the shopping crowds are larger than usual. , 'the Christmas tree itself demands particular at­ tention. it should not be placed near any source of heat, such as radiators, fire places or stoves and Should be well-secured against falling. The1' tree should be to placed that standing or falling it will not block a .doorway or exit and thus prevent the es­ cape oi anyone. Lights for the tree should, be only of the approved eisetne type and in no case should candies be used or smoking permitted near any Christinas tree.

On the Saturday evening both Napoleon and his aide-de-camp had been samp­ ling the local brew, and the aid, at a tense moment of the pay, became a little mixed in his topography. "Sire, sire," he said, "it has been deshided to hanikh you to St. Helens.” Napoleon digested this fact and [ then observed, resignedly: “Ah, well, it might have been Wigan.” An enjoyable evening was spent ■■ Friday by members of the Ingersoll Little Theatre Guild, who held their annual Christmas party at the home of Mr. and Mrs M. Walton, King street east. A number of plays were read, being picked at random, and* much amusement was occasioned by / these unrehearsed parts. Anothr• feature of the evening was a-guest>\ ing contest. Each member waJ Press­ ed as, or gave some indication of the title of the play. The winner: of this contest was Mrs. Norman Harper in the role of “Old Maid." A skit performed by Mrs L. M. Sommer, Bob Wadton and Jack Mayberry ! proved very • laughable and was loudly applauded by the members. A buffet lunch was served and the tables were decorated in keeping . with the season. The program was concluded with the singing of Christ­ mas carols and other old favorite songs, and Mr* G. D Beck and Jack Mayberry played the accompani­ ments. Those in charge of the re- _ freshments were Helen Hawkins, Mae Horseman and Mrs S. J. Smith. A vote of thanks was extended to Mr and Mrs. Walton for their hos­ pitality in providing such commodi­ ous quarters in which to hold t event. “How dov you afford such long holidays?" "Easy. One month on the sands and 11 month* on the rocks.” WHILE wa celebrate this Season of Goodwill in comfort, ©ur brothers, sisters and comrades across the sea live ’neath the shadow-of death . . . death let loose from the skies by the monstrous hordes of Nazidom and Paganism. At this season we are particularly reminded of the debt we owe to those whose service and sacrifice make it possible for us to enjoy our Christmas midst the carefree happiness of children and fond parents . .. those valiant men who patrol the skies, man the ships, stand by the guns, and place their all — even unto life itself, between us and the enemy. How can we pay our debt to them? The least we can do is to Save every dollar that we can and lend it to Canada, so that Canada can provide everything in munitions and ♦ equipment to fortify these men for the defence of our country and our civilization.. ' Our savings should be invested in War Savings Certificates, and w« should continue to save and. invest in War Savings Certificate* until Victory is won. The widow's mite counts.as much as the more fortunate ones' plenty, as evidence of service, sacrifice and determination. So then, whatever else you do at this Christmas season, save and invest in War Savings Certificate*. The very consciousness of your service in the DeiAnce. of your homeland will make greater your personal enjoymei Christmas. t h e INGERSOLL TMBUNE, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1940MOUNT ELGIN STEELE’S GLASSES SATISFY 8 p.m. FUR SALE Juice ORANGES 15* PICKLES [FAMOUS 16’ 29* ,’L09 ‘.’L14 W MINCEMEAT DATESMINCEMEAT MINCEMEAT Conkinc F in 3 4 * 5 3 * 3 5 c ALMOND PASTE CIGARETTES NUTS IN SHELL .50 - SQ.50 39* For the Snack Fruit Juices ChickenTRUMPET c of fee 93 Thames St Lobster SUPPLIES PLANING MILL R E D U C E D F A R E S CHRISTMAS and NEW YEAR’S SPEC IAL TRAIN SER V ICE FOR CHRISTMAS and NEW YEAR’S T 7 KA.LW.Y Mrs. Gordon Campbell and little son, Lome of Ingersoll, attended theWomen’s Missionary meeting held onThursday aftemon at the home of it, pneuHfeat of thewr **d Mia* Bvrtn Wootetock «a•f tart week at- Extra Selected LongFILBERTS lb.21< COFFEE -47* The Friendliest GIFT . . i FOOD HAMPER MINIATURE CHOCOLATES band around them as thia w the poet office worker* and greatly appreciated. ‘±’1.49 Christmas Shopping Hours HIGH PARK 1 H4b.
